MoFo App

I was thinking about this this morning, would a MoFo App work? I know for one I would download it and even pay for it, as using the internet on my tablet is quite slow and sometimes I cant get on the laptop as my wife id using it for uni work etc.

I have no idea how these apps work or if it would be possible to get the whole feel of the website in an app.

Developing an app is a lot of work, and not the kind of technical work I have much experience with, unfortunately.

More importantly, though, is that a well-designed mobile site can feel a lot like an app, anyway. I'm not sure if you've tried the site on your phone since the redesign, but if you do you should be getting a scaled-down mobile version that's a lot easier to use--very fast, compact, and with lots of oversized, easy-to-push links.

It needs some more work (I still haven't done the content areas, for example), but it should be pretty pleasant to use for basic functions already.

I didnt know there was a mobile site, I will see if I can get that on my tablet. My phone is an old blackberry and rarely works. Cheers for the heads up Yoda

Like I said I have no idea how making, designing apps work and I should imagine it is very hard, I find trying to inject ink into our ink cartridge a pain in the backside

On a tablet you'll probably get the "full" site--most tablet users seem to prefer that. However, I am hoping to finally get around to doing a tablet version. It won't be hugely different, the way the mobile site is now, but I figure it can be made a lot easier for tablet users with just a few tweaks here and there.

If you have any problems with device detection or not being able to switch styles under your options, just drop me a PM and we can debug.

For some reason on my iPhone the mobile version only shows when I use private browsing and I'm not logged in. Otherwise, even if I go to options and try and watch between Desktop and Mobile it still doesn't work (despite mobile being shown as selected).

I don't recall offhand if you were one of the people who specifically asked for the non-mobile version in the earlygoing, but if you were, that would explain it.

I just changed something manually in your profile--let me know if it works now (you may have to use the Edit Options setting again to see).

Works now, thanks

Will do, thanks again Yoda

Every post I've ever made has been from one of my iPhones, and I always use the full site version of any site I visit. I wouldn't use the app.

I dont think my tablet is as powerful as an iPhone and it becomes sluggish on some websites.
